Max Verstappen admitted he’d be starting P6 at Spa without Isack Hadjar’s 3-tenth tow... 🤝🏆

When a driver turns a guaranteed 30-place engine penalty into a tactical masterclass for their teammate, that is peak Formula 1 synergy.

Facing a back-of-the-grid start at Spa-Francorchamps, Isack Hadjar completely sacrificed his own Q3 run to act as a high-speed slipstream service for Max Verstappen.

Hadjar punched a massive hole in the air through the high-speed sections at over 300 km/h, towing the Dutchman and shaving three crucial tenths of a second off his time.

That selfless execution launched Verstappen onto the front row in P2—a spot Max admitted would have been a lowly P6 without Hadjar’s help.

Do you think junior and secondary drivers should regularly be deployed as tow partners in qualifying, or does it compromise the purity of a single-lap battle?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
